Getting a job in Canada

[Mercenary Pilot]

Hi

There seems to be a bit of a pilot shortage in Canada at the moment with lots of bush flying jobs available.

Im a Brit with a CPL/IR (fATPL) and am interested in working there.

However I was wondering if:

1/ Is there really a shortage?

2/ Do Canadian firms employ British pilots?

3/ Is it hard to get a work permit?

and

4/ Do I have to do very much to convert my licence? (If so, is it expensive?)



Thanks in advance.
